dry-litter or leaf mould, which should be removed previous to the plants appearing above the ground. Itis necessay to water them freely, and maintain a uniform moist surface in dry seasons, as the Ranun-culus forms its roots near the surface, and is unable to withstand a dry parched soil. In watering donot wet the leaves, but soak the bed well twice a week in dry, hot weather. When the foliage hasbecome quite yellow, the tubers should be lifted, gradually dried, and placed away in a cool airysituation. Double Persian Ranunculus. Ea. Doz. Ea.

These are highly ornamental hardy tubers, and are well adapted to either pot or border culture.The colors are exceedingly brilliant, and the markings, stripes and belts, beautiful. The Anemonewill succeed in much less enriched soil than the Ranunculus, but in other respects the same generaltreatment will answer. For pot culture, use any rich porous compost, and secure good drainage ;plant three or fourroots in a five or six inch pot, place them in a moderately cool situation, give verylittle water till the plants appear ; in Spring, remove them to the window or green-house.
